September 27, 200520 yr im using dell dimension pc desktop 4600 with windows xp the missing/corrupt file is supposed to be in C:\WINDOWS\system32\c_1252.nls (this is my laptop...different from my desktop computer) my theory as to what happened: i got an idiotic virus sent to me on aim, so i ran adaware. the virus saved itself in system32, and might have infected another file. i think adaware deleted that infected file too, and that is the file that my computer says is missing or corrupt. i called the dell tech guys and they were completely useless...20 min of waiting on the phone and i get a 2 min conversation with this useless weirdo.... :evil: i still have all of the reinstallation discs, so can anyone help me out? i have a paper on that computer that i need to get to a teacher quick... :cry:

September 27, 200520 yr You could try booting in safemode. It's usually an F button (f5, f8.. one of those) while yer computer is booting up. It might work. But if not, you should try using a recovery CD. You usually won't lose your files, but you will lose some of your settings (which you will have to set again) ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.
